Actually yes. I have an ipod, plus the walkman kills the battery. And I don't really need the fitness app, as it's only geared towards running and I'm a swimmer.

So is it as simple as flashing the s500i main files?

[a_k_s_h_a_y]

^^^^^^ who told walkman kills the battery ?? did not understand..! explain

its really bad to flash to s500 from w580.. the radio will stop working... no more radio

if u want to do soo then go ahead.. download a s500 main and flash it in..!


@mirk0750 .. yes we must send a PM to Rekoil to add this to newb starter pack in newb forum !!
can u send it plzz.. ask him to add.. it..!

Ah crap...
I've heard about the one phone that got messed up after about 10 days, I didn't know it was caused by using a different FS.

I flashed it with
W580_R6BC002_MAIN_GENERIC_LA_RED52
W580_R6BC002_FS_AMERICA_1_RED52

Hmmm, think I should be worried?
It's been about a week now.

Btw, is there a guide on how to repair the EROM if I hit that scenario.

[a_k_s_h_a_y]

^^ thanks a lot for reporting.. be it crap.. for u..!! not for me...!
lets see.. man we are just taking pre caution !! like i would in shameful misery if some one else phone dies !!
now flashed main has stood the test of time...!!

you are now going to test the flashed FS .. thanks !
i will put your name in the tutorial thanksgiving..

infact already put.. check it out..!


Isn't my tut awesome and professionally written ??
i am the rightful Tut Maker !

incase you damage your EROM i think may be wonton server will fix it for free...
or may be You should hang out in the SeTool 2 forums.. that might help you fix it..

[raginginferno]

lol, I didn't mean to be the tester! T_T

Your tut is good, wish I had it a week ago when I was trying to do this, it's really hard finding the info on what to do for all of this.

Hopefully my EROM will survive and the death of the other s500 is a one time thing.

[a_k_s_h_a_y]

yeah don't worry.. i think it was a problem with that phone only
why i put that is .. this nitroblu had EROM problems too with his w580 after flashing it with new w580 main and w580 fs.. twice infact

first erom goes dead
he gets replacement for his phone
again flashes.. again erom dies..!
now i don't know what he is doing.. have to find his thread and read it now..
on it now...searching for him now...


well found it out.. i have bumped that thread in Firmware and flashing section.. check it out..

Hey nice tutorial askhay... just one suggestion: make your tutorial more clear (wording) right now it just seems a bit confusing (the sentences are fragmented). Would you mind if I copied it, made things more clear, then sent it to you over PM and if you liked it repost it?

Actually, to get the everchanging and night and day theme working properly theres a little more to it than copying the .swf and .thm.

got the guide from here
http://www.howardforums.com/showthread.php...age=6&pp=15

DayandNight theme:

Theme filename is "Day and night.thm". This is the file that goes into the "Themes" folder on your phone.

There are 5 files total that make up this theme. Here are their file names and where they need to go on your phone:

~DayAndNight_desktop.swf (belongs in tpa/preset/system/desktop/flash/)
D1.THM (belongs in tpa/preset/system/desktop/flash/)
D2.THM (belongs in tpa/preset/system/desktop/flash/)
DayAndNight_desktop.swf (belongs in tpa/preset/system/desktop/flash/)
DayAndNight_standby.swf (belongs in tpa/preset/system/standby/flash/)

Everchanging theme:

Theme filename is "Everchanging.thm". This is the file that goes into the "Themes" folder on your phone.

There are 7 files total that make up this theme. Here are their file names and where they need to go on your phone:

E1.THM (belongs in tpa/preset/system/desktop/flash/)
E2.THM (belongs in tpa/preset/system/desktop/flash/)
E3.THM (belongs in tpa/preset/system/desktop/flash/)
E4.THM (belongs in tpa/preset/system/desktop/flash/)
E5.THM (belongs in tpa/preset/system/desktop/flash/)
Everchanging_desktop.swf (belongs in tpa/preset/system/desktop/flash/)
Everchanging_standby.swf (belongs in tpa/preset/system/standby/flash/)

You can download all the extracted files for these 2 themes and the main theme files from here:

http://rapidshare.com/files/42029897/Dynamic_Themes.rar.html


All of the files are in the rar file. As long as you get those files to the right location, you then put the main theme file in the theme fold you normally put it, eveything will look identical to the S500 (except for the walkman icon, its still the music icon and it doesn't say walkman on the top, it just blank but it works) Otherwise the menu wouldn't work properly. And the everchaning theme still changes automatically.
